“The memory of Mr. Monk’s storied professional football career is inherently tied to the Washington Redskins brand. That means the decision by him and his teammate Darrell Green to publicly speak out against the Redskins bigoted brand is an act of selfless courage – one that says the fight against prejudice is more important than any one individual. As two of the greatest athletes ever to play for Washington’s football franchise, Mr. Monk and Mr. Green have added their truly powerful voices to a grassroots campaign against the mean-spirited mascot-ization of our indigenous culture.”
